Registered Nurse In Charge (RN IC) cover for Melbourne CBD aged care homes

Looking for an agency RN IC in Melbourne CBD? We place aged-care-experienced registered nurse in charge into facilities across Melbourne CBD and the wider City of Melbourne, day or night.

A Registered Nurse In Charge leads the shift — allocating staff, responding to clinical deterioration, managing escalations and handing over safely. Facilities need someone who can take charge from the first hour, not just fill a gap.

Each of the 6 residential aged care homes in the City of Melbourne needs a senior nurse leading every shift — that's 18 shift-lead positions a day across the council.

Provide shift leadership, clinical oversight and support to ensure safe and effective care delivery within aged care facilities. Our experienced Nurse In Charge professionals help coordinate teams, respond to clinical needs and provide confidence during every shift.

The City of Melbourne has 6 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 694 operational beds. Most requests we see from this part of Melbourne are night shifts, weekend rosters and same-day sick-leave cover — the shifts that are hardest to fill with permanent staff alone.
